We desperately need new leaders, and as we have tried all forms of
leadership only to discover that they failed, we had better discover a very
different kind of leader. We will begin to lead ourselves. We will draw
back all the responsibilities and power that we have delegated to these
failed leaders.
We don't need any more leaders. Our culture is insane (acts in ways that are self-destructive), and leaders are generally elected from that pool of choices. Ergo, any leader elected from an insane culture will be insane and follow insane guidelines toward self-destruction.

What we need is for the sane people to find the other sane people and ignore everyone else and do what they can do to survive. Some of the insane people might realize they are following the wrong people and switch over. Some will be forced toward less consumption by economics. Meanwhile, the System of systems will not let go until it fails on its own. Just like a rabid dog, it needs to be put down to stop it because everything surrounding the culture of consumption is designed to reinforce the culture of consumption. There is no 'fix' for it that any politics can implement now.

IF there is a planet left by the time the CO2 dumping stops.
